Vegan Chocolate Truffle Torte.
Method
-
Mix all the ingredients for the base together in a bowl: cocoa nib (38 g), pistachios (38 g), vegan digestive biscuits (38 g), vegan chocolate (38 g), and salt (pinch)
-
Press the mix firmly into the base of a 20cm shallow flan ring.
-
Set the base in the fridge for 15 minutes before filling with the truffle tofu mixture.
-
Gently melt the vegan chocolate (150 g) in a bowl, over hot water. Stir until completely smooth and melted.
-
Blitz the silken tofu (150 g) in a liquidiser until smooth. Add the melted chocolate and strong coffee (25 ml) to the tofu in the liquidiser and continue to blend until well mixed and completely smooth.
-
Pour the chocolate tofu into the tin, over the biscuit base & smooth the top.
-
Chill in the fridge until firm for approximately 4 hours.
-
Place a slice of the torte on a plate and serve with a few segments of oranges (4) and a sprinkling of pistachios (100 g).
You can subtitute the coffee for a liqueur, e.g. amaretto, for a richer taste.
